About Us: Married couple from Los Angeles in our early 40s, no kids  4th cruise, 2nd Princess cruise

It was such a pleasure that we were able to actually leave from a port without flying there. Since we live in Los Angeles, we booked SuperShuttle to take us to the port. That was cheaper than leaving our car parked at the port for 15 days (at $12 per day). We had planned to arrive around 1:00 - 1:30pm, hoping that we would miss the crowd. It still took almost 2 hours for us to go through everything and board the ship. Crew told us that the previous cruise, it was even worse since there were multiple ships in port that day.  I guess we were lucky that we were the only ship in San Pedro that day.

Demographics Since it is such a long cruise (15 days) and has so many at sea days, I would guess that the average age of the passengers was around 70 - 75. There probably weren't more than 5 - 10 kids on board, and we almost never saw them. I would guess that about 70 - 80% of the passengers were 60+. This was a bit surprising to us - guess because we haven't been cruising that long, it was older clientele than other ships/itineraries we have done. It did seem to be well-traveled passengers - the passenger with the most cruises had been on 40+ cruises for over 300 days. The runners up weren't far behind either.
